Business Scenario

The existing system - having a strong foothold in hospitality industry with almost 1000+ hotels and 50+ OTAs (Online Travel Agents) connected and very large amount of data collected over years, the client wanted to upgrade existing system that allows hotels and end users to interact with the system that is super fast, having very rich UI, UX with the wow factor and many other internal features and operations evolved in hospitality domain with the time, along with migration of entire data collected over years from old system to new system.

Intellipro Approach

IntelliPro team is already having vast experience in hospitality domain - the approach this time was to develop and upgrade the existing system in such a manner that fulfills client’s new business scenario. We also conducted a comprehensive survey for feedbacks and modifications required in the existing system from all the hotels (end users) using the existing system.

IntelliPro Solution & challenges accomplished:

  • To support very large scale software development - we changed entire architecture and adopted Onion framework and dependency injection in the new system. With this change the system can now support any database engine with a very minimal change of code.
